Hi there, Our company is at the point of starting an Open Source project for one of our Jini/Java projects. We are now in the process of writing our License and Community Guidelines.
After studying and working with some Open Source guidelines we feel the ones applied by the Jakarta Project are the ones we would like to adopt. As I found out, being a non native English speaker, rewriting a sound piece of guidelines in your own words is a non trivial task. Just screen scraping the Jakarta Guidelines without permission, and changing were it needs to be changed for our particular situation, wouldn't seem the right thing to do. Therefore I ask whether the Jakarta project would mind if we adopt the Guidelines and represent it on our site in a way somebody familiar with Jakarta would say "hmmmmm, that looks familiar, were have I seen this before ...". Of course proper credits will be given. Something that will be given anyway, for our project makes use of the various Jakarta subprojects. Please let me know whether you object against 'Open Guidelining' ;-) Regards, -- Mark Brouwer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
